Default Cable Length??????

Throwing 12" apes with 1 1/2 risers on an 05 Night Train...can anyone give me insight on what length throttle, clutch, and brake line? Looking for something in black, what brand should I go with?

Good call on the +6. I would recommend the Magnum cables over the LA choppers. Better quality IMO

LA Choppers uses Barnett Cables. Just spoke to them about that yesterday.

I ran with Magnum Chromite's on my FLHXSE. Good Quality from what I can tell so far, but they're called Magnum for a reason. Seem a shade thicker than the Barnett's I've worked with.

Are they just the rubber coated cables or are they steel braided? I used Barnetts on my Dyna. They weren't bad at all, the only concern I had was the outer coating was turning yellow in some spots but other than that they were good. I also have the Magnums now, I went with the black pearls. Sweet cables, but a little pricy, but on this bike I was sparing no expense.

I can't say for sure. Only worked with their chrome ones. I would give a call to LA Choppers, or hit up the Barnett website for sure. Those Magnum black pearls are pretty sweet....

The less expensive black cables from LA Choppers are black vinyl cables.
